Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine warm water with instant yeast and granulated sugar. Let it sit until frothy.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare a loaf pan with cooking spray and cornmeal.
  3. Whisk together all-purpose flour, kosher salt, baking soda, and cracked pepper in a mixing bowl.
  4. Stir in chopped scallions and grated cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
  5. Add the yeast mixture, buttermilk, and vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
  6. Knead the dough for 4-6 minutes until soft and elastic, adjusting flour as necessary.
  7. Shape the dough into a loaf, place in the prepared pan, cover with a towel, and let it rise until doubled in size.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
